How are you behaving?

Pastor Wayne Surface teaches from 1 Timothy 3:14-16 about how believers ought to behave in the local church. The sermon emphasizes that our commitment to a local church is like “tying the knot” in marriage—a binding agreement. Drawing parallels between marriage and the church, Pastor Surface explains that our conduct reflects Christ’s love to those around us. He challenges the congregation with five key “oughts”: to walk with the Lord, to love one another and resolve conflicts, to become teachers and get involved, to think humbly of ourselves, and to hold fast to the mystery of the faith. The message reminds us that God left us here after salvation for one main reason: to share the gospel and make known the mystery of Christ to the world.
